Research Interests

Regional Development Economics/Urban Economics. Empirical/theoretical research and analysis of Bangkok.

This research investigates physical changes in urban structure/space and the occupational changes of individuals in the urban community. The research bs the period from the late 1980s, now referred to as the start of globalization, to the present. The aim is to make clear how urban structural changes in the macro context of "economics" and "labor" impact the "labor" and "life" of individuals on the micro level and how individuals react and respond to such changes.

The main research topic is the informal economy in Bangkok. Due to a big fire at the research site in 2004, the research topic has changed slightly and is now looking closely at the "cost" and "risk"management of workers in the informal economy.
